kodak kisses

i don't trust
these pictures of happy times.

of smiling faces,
laughter,

balloons and barking dogs.
i don't believe

in the gloss of this paper,
the shine

of the sun
behind the crowd,

arms entwined, snapped
photos of kisses

made between
vows and promises.

i don't believe one bit
of it,

because i was there too.
